In 1995, she returned home to Los Angeles and worked at some of the major downtown convention hotels overseeing a wide range of events, meetings and tradeshows for major corporations and associations.  Her vast knowledge and expertice took her to San Francisco in 2000 to produce some of the largest tradeshows, conferences and special events for Key3Media (later called MediaLive International) with operational budgets ranging from $250,000 to in excess of $5 million.  These shows included Comdex, Networld+Interop, Seybold as well as boutique conferences for Intel and Sun Microsystems, among others.
